David Beckham’s collaboration with H&M is a big joy for his fans. This photo is from the last year’s launch of Beckham’s bodywear range. David was rocking a cool haircut with extra short sides and nape, balanced with elongated hair on top. The cut is meant to wear back-swept with a lift at the roots as a sort of a pompadour hairstyle.

Commonly crewcut is recommended for thick hair, but we see that David Beckham can pull off practically any look, even if it’s a simple extra short haircut. David successfully combines it with the matching facial style and gets the clean stylish look that fits even into the formal style.

If you are a fan of extra short haircuts and you want something more interesting than a plain crewcut, this cool edgy style may find a way to your heart. Besides the shaved temples, it features a shaved triangle over the forehead – something you don’t come across in mens haircuts every day. Bold and creative!
If you compare this image with the picture #2, you’ll realize what a potent tool a haircut is in terms of your face (and head) shape correction. Here we see that David enhances the impression from his perfect square face at the expense of the sharp taper cut with enough weight in the corners and the graphic facial hairstyle. The hairline that seems practically horizontal and David’s signature back sweep look pretty impressive.
Shaved temples definitely flatter David Beckham’s face. They accentuate his wide cheekbones and strong manly jawline. That’s why he often has his hair cut with extra short sides or temple undershaves. This haircut features slightly elongated razored hair on top and tapering of the length from the crown towards the nape. We love the highlighted spot in particular. It’s obvious that modest color accents can look very good on men.
Mohawks on white men is a rare thing, but David Beckham manages to pull off this look as well. This style is accurate and edgy, neat and provocative. It works great for David’s straight hair that is skillfully textured to look sharp and jagged.
Shaved head designs are a trendy twist for those who are ready for some extra attention. David Beckham is used to being in the spotlight like no one else, but he doesn’t opt for a sophisticated pattern. Minimalism in everything from clothes to hair is a welcome thing in today’s fashion.
The feel of ease and low-maintenance are among the most frequently requested requirements men have for haircuts. If crewcut flatters you, do not hesitate and pick it for your next haircut. A new contemporary way to wear it is with a facial hairstyle of the same length that you have on your head.

Here is a classy haircut variety without extremes. It’s to the liking of men who shy away from extra short cuts. This look seems to be slightly outgrown not only on top, but at the temples as well. If you like to texture your hair and switch styles from sleek and formal to disheveled casual ones, this is a worthy pick of a basic cut.
These days most men feel ok about hair bleaching. Dyeing solutions on men look the best when done on slightly outgrown hair. It is still a haircut, not just outgrown hair, because what you need in such looks is the accuracy of edges and well-trimmed ends. David’s bleached hair appears very cute. In 2024, we still wear roots natural or darkened.
Does it seem neat and professional? Not really… Stylish and trendy? Absolutely! Short-to-medium haircuts, styled disheveled, look the best on younger guys or men of creative professions. They suit both straight and wavy hair. If your hair is straight like David’s, you can apply sea salt hair spray for “scrunched” hairstyles.
In case you prefer to wear elongated short haircuts, they look the best with the point cut ends and top hair, angled steeply. David Beckham’s haircut is a nice example to follow in this relation. Natural-looking highlights for men are used to brighten up your eyes and as a refreshing touch. It’s optimal to pursue the look of sun-faded hair.
Another great solution for slightly longer haircuts is the elongated nape section. When your haircut is accomplished with a razor, it provides the right edge that is welcome in disheveled looks. Balayage highlights allow achieving the cool look of random sun-kissed touches.
Guys who do not mind experimenting with different hairstyles for elongated hair will like this nice haircut. The blunt cut temples and nape don’t require any additional styling efforts. They are going to look natively neat. And, as for the quiff and top hair, they are point cut for an added volume that you will appreciate in hairstyles with a lift at the roots like in the photo.

When a man decides to transit from a short haircut to medium length hair, he faces that confusing period when his outgrown haircut begins to look messy and untidy but the desired length is not achieved yet. David Beckham suggests using a minimalistic headband to pass through the transition with comfort.
David Beckham’s cornrows made a splash back in 2003 not only in UK but all over the world. There were publications about an influx of young guys who were storming hair salons in order to get the same braided hairstyle. Well, David’s braids are remembered even now, but, alas, they are more often referred to as his worst hairstyle ever. We do not agree, but on some boys who mimicked his style they really looked ridiculous.
This one will work even for your wedding. Many brides-to-be choose this hairstyle as the best wedding hair idea for their grooms. It’s a classy taper with elongated top hair cut straight and styled with a root booster.
